    based on 3 ratings

    The pattern is all over Scripture: we cannot separate our vertical relationship to God from our horizontal relationship to others; the vertical always influences the horizontal. This is true in the realm of comfort.

    We don't have to look far to see that suffering exists. Truth is, that tragedy enters into each of our lives. When it does we tend to ask: "Why did this happen to me?" But we should really be asking a different question.

    The God of Consolation Monday of Tenth Week in Course 2013 St. Paul seems almost obsessed in today’s reading with the word paraklesis. In seven verses he uses some form of the word at least nine times. Paul is certainly trying to tell the Corinthians, and us, something ...read more
